This is one stunning shot. I love the depth of field, how we see all down the swathe of water, all the way along until it meanders off in the distance...

The colours are breath-taking- the rich blue of the water, the fresher blue above in the sky, contrasted with the stark, inky branches of the trees leaning over the water, and the gorgeously fiery colours of the foliage. The water is so still as to be like glass, and this is further emphasised by the perfect reflections of the trees along the riverbank.

A wonderfully restful, peaceful shot, I feel. It really demonstrates the beauty of nature well, and I love how the fence is at the fore of it all; a tiny man-made boundary to try and save us from drowning in this amazing beauty...

Oh, just wonderful.I think the picture speaks for itself. The colors, the contrast, the reflection on the water, the sharpness on this picture is just breathtaking.I particularly like the impact you have given to the red in contrast with the strong blue of the water.The little wood (not sure if those are stairs) is very important in this subject. The impression I have is that this is the perfect place to swim.Regarding the sky color, I think it was a nice idea to make it less strong than the water. If you have chosen to "force" the blue it would definitely ruin your composition and mood.

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. It is images likes this that make me dislike the autumn season in Australia as we do not have such trees or plant species that can mirror the autumn tone that you have perfectly captured.
